    <title>VPC Network Offerings</title>
    <para>The VPC needs specific network offerings with the VPC flag enabled. Otherwise these network offerings are identical to regular network offerings. To allow VPC networks with a Nicira NVP isolated network the offerings need to support the Virtual Networking service with the NiciraNVP provider.</para>
    <para>In a typical configuration two network offerings need to be created. One with the loadbalancing service enabled and one without loadbalancing.</para>
